Janeway did fight, kill, destroy, intimidate, threaten, battle and overcome many enemies and completely use an authoritarian hand for the love of her life ...
Coffee
If earth, the human race and the federation had stood in her way for a carafe of Columbian coffee, she would have destroyed us all.
- love of her life ...
  Coffee
  When they established communications with Starfleet again and got the letter that Mark moved on she was just like "Meh, I knew he would probably move on" lmfao
  But do NOT fuck with her Coffee lol
  
  I'm trying to remember and too lazy to rewatch or look it up.
  Didn't Neelix make a coffee substitute that was as good? It was when they were trying to save on replicator rations.
- That's a nice twist ending there!!! Well done!

I want a “Someone get this woman some goddammed coffee” tattoo. I don’t care that I’m a cis male. The people who matter will get it.

I mean... Coffee is the love of her life.
- When the love of her life left her, she washed her hands and went to the replicator for another cup.

On a different note, what surprised me the most afted rewatching voyager's pilot after a good 15 years is that Janeway had a boyfriend/husband/partner. I mean he was mentioned in at least another episode during 1st season but I'm pretty sure he has been forgotten by then
- Oh, Mark comes up a few times. We eventually learn that he got married sometime after Starfleet gave up on Voyager being found.
  
  I had a look at Memory Alpha and you are right, he is mentioned. Yet it was so forgettable that I removed it every time I rewatched the show
- There’s light commentary later before she finds companionship in fair haven, but essentially she sees how stranded she is and it’s posed to her as inappropriate to partner with someone under her command.
  For the most part though, we do forget about her boyfriend and she has flings with a few guys along her way.
  
  she sees how stranded she is and it’s posed to her as inappropriate to partner with someone under her command.
  Which is a damn shame given all the looks she and Chakotay shared. And that time they thought they were going to be stuck alone together forever.
  
  Including Paris, if my memory serves me right.
  I admit the last time I watched Voyager, was when it was on broadcast TV...

If we are doing the whole strong female characters BS I present you Kira Nerys.
Fought a genocidal occupation all her youth
Became one of the leading figures in a massive space station orbiting her world
Fought the dominion
Placed aside her hatred for the Cardassians
Matured and grew to be a wise woman

Janeway was more upset about losing her dog than her husband. And I feel that.
- Fiancee

Kathy just programs up a holographic vibrator then deletes his wife. She's into the kinky shit.
- Lol I remember that
  Computer, one last change.
  Delete the WIFE

Janeway plays for keeps

Hey remember that time Hermione triggered a rape victim's PTSD because she thought it was funny?
- I just heard the 7th book as an audiobook last week. The amount of unforgiveable curses just casually casted by "the good guys" is staggering.
  Seems to Rowlin the ends justify the means.
  
  Oh, and when they're staying at Grimmauld place over christmas, they decide to add some festive cheer by putting the severed slave heads in little santa hats and beards
- Wait what?
  
  Umbridge shows up in book 6 or 7, and she's got PTSD from whatever the centaurs did to her. Based on the myths about centaurs, it would appear to have been rape. Hermione says "watch this", and makes clip-clop horsey sounds and Umbridge has a panic attack. Harry and Ron laugh.

"The love of her life"
Ron Weasley? Are you sure?
- Nah, they must be referring to the Hogwarts library...

While I know this is done for humor's sake, I really love this critique.
Similar to the Bechdel Test, this comesvery close to perfectly illustrating the Mako Mori Test:
The requirements of the Mako Mori test are that a film or television show has at least one female character and that this character has an independent plot arc and that the character or her arc does not simply exist to support a male character's plot arc.[2]

I know this is a joke, but I'm not sure we should joke about how different people grieve.
All are valid expressions of grief.
